A motorcyclist died after a collision in Wilkesboro Friday afternoon. Wilkesboro Police say that Larry Brent Reeves of Dogwood Lane in North Wilkesboro was injured in the 3:30pm crash that occurred as the 26-year old pulled alongside a 2003 Nissan driven by Joshua Timothy Hutchens, 18,
of North Wilkesboro. The teen told police that he didn’t see the motorcyclist until he was making his turn from Winkler Street onto Winkler Mill Road. Police say the ’91 Kawasaki skidded over 120 feet before slamming into the side of the car. Larry Brent Reeves was rushed to Wilkes Regional Medical Center, but police were told Saturday that he died of injuries from the crash. Joshua Hutchens was initially cited for an unsafe movement, but Wilkesboro Police say they’ve called in an accident reconstruction team to follow-up on the investigation.
